Former Chief Judge Of Lagos State Is Now A Member Of FIFA Ethics Committee

Former Chief Judge of Lagos State Hon. Justice Ayotunde Phillips has been appointed to the FIFA Ethics Committee.

New elections were held at the ongoing FIFA Congress on Thursday, May 11 which saw Vassilios Skouris of Greece, a former president of the European Court of Justice, elected head of the committee.

She is the first Nigerian to serve in this capacity and she will serve a four-year mandate.

Justice Phillips does not have any connection with football. This is because the members of FIFA Ethical judicial bodies must not serve as members of the Executive Committee or any other of FIFA's standing committees.
